    PBResource and Marco.

    If they don't have it, I'll make the sacrifice and order it from somebody else.

    At one time I drank the pinside pinballlife Kool Aid. But then I saw that cheap is what you get, so I opted for quality instead.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Is there something specific you had problems with?

    Yeah, their rubbers and flipper kits.

    As an ex auto tech, I learned to get the best quality parts and do the job once or you are just wasting your money and time.

    Quoted from TheMickster:

    I do not think that statement is fair at all. I, we really do not understand that at all, what did you buy that you thought was "cheap"..and why would to say something as, I think, mean as stated?

    It means I read a lot of posts on pinside recommending that certain vendor and found out the quality of rubber parts they were selling was pure crap.

    Does that explain it more fairly?

    Quoted from zacaj:

    I end up ordering from marco usually because they seem to have the best quality rubber.

    Exactly. And what is the most used part when you shop a game?

    If it basic supplies like rubber or balls and game specific parts for modern machines, I always make a list for Marco first. Almost every thing else I can get from PBResource.

    I've got no reason to go back to other vendors that have given me the runaround or sent crappy parts.

    Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

    Who supplies the best rubbers these days?

    Marco
